Keylight Homebrew tap

Homebrew formulae for Keylight — licensing for desktop apps.

brew tap keylight-dev/tap
brew trust keylight-dev/tap
brew install keylight

That installs the keylight command-line client for the Keylight management API: apps, key types, licenses, customers, and payment integrations, from the terminal instead of the dashboard.

The brew trust step is not optional and not specific to this tap. Since Homebrew 6, loading a formula from any third-party tap fails outright until you trust it — it is a supply-chain control, and it is a good one, because a tap is arbitrary Ruby that runs on your machine. Read Formula/keylight.rb first if you like; it is 60 lines and downloads a published release binary. See Homebrew's docs on tap trust.

In a Brewfile:

tap "keylight-dev/tap"
brew "keylight"

cargo install keylight-cli builds from source if you have a Rust toolchain, and every release publishes prebuilt binaries for macOS, Linux, and Windows on the CLI releases page.

Issues with the CLI itself belong on keylight-cli; this repo is only the packaging.

Keylight is the licensing layer for desktop apps. You keep your own Stripe account, your own pricing, and your own customers — Keylight issues the licenses and tells your app who is allowed to run it. The keylight CLI packaged by this tap is how you manage all of that from a terminal instead of the dashboard.

• License keys issued automatically when a payment completes
• Device activations with limits you set, and self-serve deactivation
• Offline validation — signed Ed25519 leases your app verifies locally
• Feature entitlements signed into the lease, so tiers work offline too
